My sincere condolences to Dai's family on his passing.
I knew Dai between 1958 and 1963, when he taught history at the Coronation Secondary Modern school in PD. One of the most genuine people I ever knew.
RIP

Sincerely

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Both my mother and I had the privilege to be taught English by 'Dai'. He taught my mum at the old Coronation School in Pembroke Dock and I was taught by him in his final year of teaching, in my first year at Pembroke School in 1987. A fine and kind gentleman, that taught both my mother and I well. I will often remember the fact that the first thing he taught me and my peers when we first went to the comprehensive was to cover my text books. I always did that from from first year, right up to the time I did my GCSE's. RIP Dai Williams. You will be greatly missed xx
